River EtiquetteWhen walking along the river, avoid trespassing on private land. It is permitted to wade through sections of river that are surrounded by private property so long as you stay in the stream.
Respect those who will visit the river after you and please don’t litter.
WARNINGThe Clinton River can rise to high levels after a storm making wading and boating on the river very dangerous. Avoid wading in areas of fast currents.
